Hi,
Today is Saturday. I seem to be in a blue funk. I'm not sure why but I am. I don't want to go out or get dressed or anything. I just want to sleep. I do go through cycles of this and I'm not sure why.
Mom seems to be rather stable. She still can't do anything for herself but is not passing out the way she was. Dad is hanging in there. A little more confused and forgetful but still handling most things.
Linda and Michael seem rather tired and anxious. I'm not sure what that is about.
White dog and orange cat are doing fine. They still haven't accepted Linda's 4 cats. Linda's cats although sweet to people are not too nice to other animals. They chase and gang up on my cat and dog.
I'm still doing my Peer Volunteer work. I just signed up for another cycle. The AD Assn down here is in quite a mess. So far, since Elena resigned, there is only a part time person who answers the phone but is new and knows nothing. No services so far. No more EOAD support groups. What a mess! I've been trying to get in touch with Bob S. who is the head of the Louisiana AD Chapter. So far, no luck!
Seems like no one down here really cares. That makes me very sad!
I'm tying to figure out how to start another EOAD support group.
Peace and Hope,
LCC

Get the list and have a meeting at St Arbucks. Have a cup of coffee and discuss where to meet and when. I am sure there is a place to meet.
ReplyDeleteJohn,
ReplyDeletethe list is confidential. They won't give it out. Any other ideas?
We have several support groups in the MetroWest area of Massachusetts. Some are sponsored by and hosted at assisted living facilities. One is provided by Pleasantries Adult Day services. One was started by a local UU church with help from a senior care manager.
ReplyDeleteThey make themselves known through bulletins and newsletters from the host. BayPath senior services is active in fostering the support groups.
There is a organization called meetup (meetup.com?) which gets involved with people setting up meetings.
